Speaker 7 (01:39):
And good morning everyone at Sound five o two on
news radio seven forty k t our h our top story.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
This hour, we.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
And because this is what we do and this is
what we used to yep.

Speaker 7 (01:57):
That's the sheriff of ascension Perish Bobby or more than
three hundred and ninety thousand customers in Louisiana are in
the dark. Franccene making landfall as a Category two storm
in Terrebonne Parish yesterday. The system has weakened now into
a tropical storm and having effects on Mississippi as well.

(02:17):
Home Builders in Florida claim to be building hurricane proof houses.
One home in Boca Ratone, made up of steel supports
and poured concrete, sold for six point eight million dollars,
but Jim Dutton of the Texas Home Improvement Show says, well,
maybe that's a little much.

Speaker 9 (02:34):
They already are building homes stronger than ever before with
hurricane straps and things like that, and the three D
concrete homes that are out there, I mean they're pure
concrete as well, they will withstand storms.

Speaker 7 (02:50):
He also added there was a supposed hurricane proof home
building Galveston sixty years ago and it was destroyed by
a hurricane, but it was sixty year old. Technology Fox
reports that several House Republicans are expressing concern about Donald
Trump's performance in the debate against Kamala Harris on Tuesday,

(03:11):
with one saying it was terrible. Of course, they didn't
put their names to it. And don't forget they're the
guys in Washington. You know they wanted to be a
Washington debate. The moderators on ABC certainly continue to be
raked over the calls for their collusion with Kamala The
Commission on Presidential Debates co founder and the co chair,

(03:33):
Frank J. Farrenkoff Junior, says their anti Trump bias was clear.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
The moderators are not supposed to do that.

Speaker 10 (03:41):
A debate is between the candidates, not the debate between
the candidate and the moderators.

Speaker 7 (03:46):
Farren Kaff on Newsmax on the campaign trail. After attending
nine to eleven memorials with Donald Trump, President Joe Biden
guess what he put on? A Trump hat at an
event in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. That's where United ninety three was crashed.
First responders there demanding he put it on. The White
House spin is that, well, this is an example of

(04:07):
bipartisan unity.

Speaker 11 (04:09):
It is now five oh four.

Speaker 7 (04:11):
The twenty twenty four electric political theatrics may not be over.
We're bracing for the October surprise.

Speaker 8 (04:19):
Some political experts are predicting more twists and turns leading
up to the presidential election in November, mainly affecting Trump.

Speaker 12 (04:26):
The Trump opposition is honestly on them. It's not really political,
it's very hysterical, and they've come to believe that this
man is a monster.

Speaker 8 (04:36):
American Thinker contributor Silvio Kanto Junior says. There's already been
some crazy things happened in the past year.

Speaker 12 (04:42):
Alone, President Biden stepping out, Robert Kennedy endorsing Trump, obviously,
the assassination.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Cherit Lewis News Radio seven forty krh Yeah.

Speaker 7 (04:54):
Despite multiple states, including Texas, discovering and purging thousands of
non citizens from our voter rules, Democrats continue to insist
we don't need more laws to stop illegal aliens from voting.

Speaker 11 (05:06):
Uh huh.

Speaker 13 (05:08):
Eighty five percent of the American people's support requiring the
only citizens vote in American elections. Democrats are on the
wrong side of the issue.

Speaker 7 (05:17):
Yep, wrong side of history too. Texas Congressman Chip Roy
on Fox. The House Speaker Mike Johnson, though pulled that
temporary spending bill from a vote full House vote yesterday,
didn't have the votes he needed from the Republicans. Half
a dozen of them indicated they're not going to vote
for that package. It includes the Save Act, which is

(05:38):
not allowing non citizens to vote in American elections. They're
trying to tie it to the spending bill. Congress has
until September thirtieth to get a deal done, or that's
when the partial government shutdown occurs. It appears too late
to stop TikTok from what influencing the election.

Speaker 14 (05:57):
The Chinese owned social media app TikTok is launching new
election features and candidate verification requirements ahead of this falls contests.
Political commentator Luke Macias says this is dangerous, especially since
TikTok has huge influence on younger voters.

Speaker 15 (06:11):
There's a reality that China does not allow free speech
social media platforms in its country, and we should not
be allowing it to significantly persuade not only our citizens,
but also being used to advance their own propaganda.

Speaker 14 (06:25):
President Biden signed a law earlier this year that requires
TikTok to divest its Chinese ownership or face a band
in the US. Corey Jolson nehw's Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 11 (06:34):
Five oh six Now Looking at Our Money.

Speaker 7 (06:36):
A new study from the Tax Foundation shows Kamala Harris's
taxing agenda could result in job losses numbering seven hundred
eighty seven thousand people and add two point six trillion
dollars to this nation's deficit. Here at home, here is
County Democrats or sneaking in that eight percent property tax

(06:56):
increase into next year's budget.

Speaker 11 (06:59):
The City of Houston could be raising property taxes too.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
We all know we have a shortfall.

Speaker 16 (07:07):
The city essentially been funded by one time federal funding
the last two financial budget cycles.

Speaker 7 (07:14):
Mayor John Whitmeyer at City Council yesterday. Now, the average
city tax bill could rise by one hundred and forty
four dollars a year per family. That's average. Fewer doctors
participating in Obamacare.

Speaker 11 (07:28):
Why well.

Speaker 7 (07:29):
Rob Henneckey with the Texas Public Policy Foundation says the
so called Affordable Care Act has proven to be not affordable.

Speaker 17 (07:37):
Access to healthcare has decreased and costs have increased, not
just some premiums, but also in the prevalence of high
deductible plants that really require most Americans to just be
cash payers and still have to pay for expensive health insurance.

Speaker 7 (07:52):
Yeah, that's an effect on the patients, on the doctors.
According to the Wall Street Journal, over two hundred thousand
of them are opting out because of the government control
of these Obamacare plans. They don't get paid. It's now
five oh eight. Stros lose to Oakland five to four,
Seattle one, So now the lead in the A Long
West is down to three and a half games for

(08:14):
the Astros. Will wrap up the series this afternoon. Coverage

Of Our Guard jour between November fifth, News Radio seven
forty kt RH.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
You know Alicia Silverstone is He's an actress. Yeah, yeah,
best known for maybe you should bear this mind as
I read this story to you. Best known for the
movie Clueless. Yeah, hey does she clude and her clueless
about this? She did a TikTok commercial that she produced
for a company called plant Paper, which sells toilet paper

(09:08):
made entirely out of bamboo. In the commercial, she claimed
that regular toilet paper is contributing to your risk of
cancer by containing chemicals known as pfas. She said the
chemicals never break down, never leave your body, and can
contribute to a host of problems, including hemorrhoids, urinary track infections,
and chronic inflammation. Now, I decided to do a little

(09:31):
research on this, and it turns out that yes, some
toilet papers do contain pfas. A lot of other things
contain pfas as well. It's in the soil, it's in
the water in a lot of places. It's kind of
hard to run away from. So which ones contain pfas This?
This is what I could list I could find so far.

(09:52):
Charman Ultrass Soft toilet paper, seventh generation, one dred percent
recycled bath tissue, Tushy bamboo toilet paperaper. Oh wait a minute,
didn't she just do a commercial for bamboo toilet paper
because she said it didn't contain Pfasushi. Yeah, I don't
think it was cushy. It was a different one.

Speaker 11 (10:10):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
And here's my favorite, who gives a crap bamboo toilet paper?
Bear all this with a yeah, with a grain of
salt here I have. Here's my personal belief at this
point in life, being alive eventually causes cancer or death
or some some form of death at any rate. Five

(10:32):
ten time for traffic and weather together.

Speaker 18 (10:33):
Life doesn't want you to have toilet paper.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Certain kinds of toilet paper, oh okay, or air.

Speaker 18 (10:38):
Conditioning or cars, or and they want you to eat babooks.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
They probably all cause cancer toos can.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
I let's you know what, let's go over to speaking
of you know what, we have a suit. We have
actually not one, but two super fund sites in Houston.
Little historic information, whether it's one in peer Land where
they had to shut down a whole neighborhood and I
timp right over the San Jacino River Bridge, anybody remember,
and they had to do that business coming over at
twenty two minutes.

Speaker 6 (11:03):
Now, if you've stopped by.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Center from r KTRH top tax Defenders twenty four our
weather Center. Time to check in with Terry Smith. Where
right now is fran scene or what's left of Franccene.

Speaker 19 (11:39):
So, Franccene is a tropical storm that has made its
way into like right around the Louisiana Mississippi border, and
it's barely hanging on to tropical storm status forty five
mile in our winds doesn't matter though, because it is windy.
It is bringing a lot of rain, causing power outages,

(12:01):
and there's also that potential for severe thunderstorms, and we've
been especially being careful about the potential for tornado. So
it's going to be a little rough here still in Louisiana, Mississippi,
parts of Alabama too, the western Florida Panhandle. It's making
its way northward into Arkansas and Tennessee. So we'll be
talking about fran scene here today and tomorrow. Closer to home.

(12:24):
There's not a sign that fran Scene is anywhere nearby.
We are getting some dryer air, We are going to
see some sunshine and the temperatures are going to heat
up as a result. Today in the upper eighties to
low nineties. No rain through the weekend, load to mid
nineties through Sunday.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Temperature ride now seventy three. Here at your officials, Severe
Weather Station, News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New South
Windows Solutions. Now back to Jimmy and Sherah with the
info you need to take on the day.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
I don't know if y'all heard what Trey Gotti said
about the Trump debate performance, but he was fired up
about it. Fired up enough. I'm gonna share some audio
with you coming up next. He was ugly about He
was ugly about it. He thinks it. I listened to it.
I thought, you know what head should roll? He says, yeah.
Well we'll see about that war coming up.

Speaker 11 (13:15):
First, we got my own opinion.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
I'm sure you do. First, we've got traffic and weather together.
Here's guy Mike.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
How we got that roadwork on Crosby.

Speaker 11 (13:22):
It was ugly.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
That's Highway ninety from twenty one to Bohemian Hall. They've
knocked out three overpasses. So you have to do I
think you have to do three four way stops there.
For now, we're getting by just fine. Let's look at
I forty five south coming up from the Gulf, and
you know, James from Texas City says, there's two other
super fun sites, one by Hobby and one in Texas City. No,

(13:43):
you know what, I hate it when people call it
toxic city.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
Stop doing that. That's not nice. Northbound.

Speaker 18 (13:48):
Don't say toxic city. It's not funny.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
Up from Galveston, we look good now and we're in
good shape. If you work in Texas City. One forty
six is in great shape. Rest of our freeways rocking
along now except the toll bridge. The suckage has begun.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
From r KTRH top tax Defenders, twenty four hour weather Center,
Claude Sky's this morning partly Klaudia, this afternoon looks like

klaudi for the weekend ninety five both days. Temperature right

three at your official severe weather station, News Radio seven
forty k TRH. Let's get you caught up on some

(14:28):
of our top stories. Here's Shara.

Speaker 7 (14:31):
It is now five twenty three on news Radio seven
forty KTRH. These headlines are sponsored by Texas Mutual Insurance.
We've got hundreds of thousands of people in Louisiana with
no power after the landfall of Francine as a cat
too hurricane. More than sixty seven million people watch Tuesday's
debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, We're told, and

(14:51):
guess what underway right now? The first ever commercial spacewalk
the crew of Polaris Dawn. They began a little little
bit before five am our time, and it's pretty exciting
to see latest news anytime KTURH dot com. Our next
update is at the bottom of this hour five point.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Thirty from the Sugarland area, pavi Airport area. You're reliable forecast.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Next on the ten on seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
Trey God he fired up about the debate. We'll get
share his opinion here in a second, but first let's
see what Trey Gotdi thinks went wrong and what needs
to happen in order to fix it.

Speaker 20 (15:34):
I know the President listed several people that he had
fired during his administration. He may want to add to
that the people that prepped him for the debate last night.
He it was the land of missed opportunities. And yes,
I get that the ABC moderators fact checked him and
not her. I got a newsflash for all Republicans. He's

(15:55):
not the first Republican candidate to run into a media headwind.
In fact, every single Republican presidential candidate has run into
a media headwind. It's their question, but it's your answer.
And if you're talking about dogs and cats right now, Dana,
you hear the power of calling the names of victims.

(16:15):
It is incredibly powerful to call the name to personalize
the victim. Did you hear President Trump call the name
of the single person raped, robbed, killed, assaulted by water
crosser last night?

Speaker 4 (16:28):
I did not.

Speaker 20 (16:29):
I heard about cats and dogs in Ohio, but I
didn't hear the name of a single person that was
killed as a result of Kamala Harrison. How about the
Afghan kids that were droned? Do you hear them brought off?
I mean, any names? It was a land of missed opportunities.
To me, last night, would you do another one? Tray

(16:52):
hey better and he better get a brand new debate
prep tame, because the goal was to get under his skin.
So to talk about crowdside rallies, talk about your wealth.
I mean, anybody who's spent like a week in law
school knows how to cross examine someone.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
The key is to not tape de bait.

Speaker 20 (17:11):
I mean, when you get a question about the border
or abortion and you're talking about student loans bill. She
voted against banning partial birth abortion. That is an extreme position.
She says she's in favor of roeb Wayne Roby Wade
does not allow partial birth abortions. So look, the moderators

(17:32):
didn't fact checker. There's no reason he can't do it.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
There you go, that's his assessment.

Speaker 11 (17:39):
It's just the whole thing just pissed me off.

Speaker 7 (17:41):
This is a guy who sold out his service to
the country to go be a talking head and make
a very lucrative income. So now the Washington class is
all saying, this is what Trump should have done, and
this is what Trump should be doing. He's missed his opportunity.
He was stupid and he found no, he didn't he's cagy.
He is crazy like a fox. He was trying to
talk to the cat ladies. And when you start talking

(18:03):
about the cats and the dogs, he was talking to
an audience. You know, they thought he was nuts when
he started talking about they bugged my phone, remember that
back in twenty sixteen. Yep, he's right every time. And
in essence, what he's got is all of his friends
and supporters doing that other heavy lifting forum, which he
does every day at a rally.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Right.

Speaker 7 (18:23):
Here's that's all I'm saying, and that's going to be
my commentary.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
There you go. Here's here's the bottom line for me.
Did it change anything the poles? Nope? Did it hurt
him in the polls? Nope? Did it make anybody? Did
make anybody think the camel was a better choice than him?

Speaker 7 (18:35):
Sixty percent of the undecideds went his direction exactly the
cat ladies.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
Hello, five twenty seven. Now here in Houston's point is
time take a look at your money. Here's Denise pelagrinny
this morning.

up seven, Nestak futures up fifteen. West Texas crewed more
than one and a half percent, still low those sixty
eight to fifty seven a barrel. New report from the
International Energy Agency says global oil demand is slowing dramatically.

(19:10):
You can blame this on China, the economy. They're cooling.
World consumption increasing by eight hundred thousand barrels a day
in the first half of the year. You know, that's
barely a third of the expansion we saw in the
same period of twenty twenty three. And Elmtator Foods is

Speaker 11 (21:10):
Good morning. Everyone is out.

Speaker 7 (21:11):
Five thirty one on news Radio seven forty KTRH and
our top story this hour the mass power outages in
Louisiana after landfall of what became Category two Hurricane Francine
and Terrebonne Parish three hundred seventy five thousand plus without
power this morning. There has been no initial report of
death or injuries related to the system, now a tropical

(21:34):
storm and seeping over and moving through Mississippi into and
through Also topping our news, of course, the two illegal
aliens from Venezuela charged with raping murdering the twelve year
old Houston girl, Joscelyn Nongarai. Back in court here Wednesday,
Judge Josh Hill rejected the defense request for a broad

(21:55):
gag order in the case.

Speaker 23 (21:57):
I do not think I have any authorities this time
to restrict substress from coming into coals, room points and
I do not have the ability to restrict them from supporting.

Speaker 11 (22:12):
What's in a curve legal action.

Speaker 7 (22:15):
Two illegal aliens are charged with capital murder in that
little girl's horrible death. Nungeri's mother, one of several victims
of illegal alien crime, called to testify to the US
House this week, and Houston crime victim advocate April Aguire
let the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, who were going
on and on have it.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
We want solutions. I'm still talking, So please don't.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
I just talked to an assumption.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
Don't make an assumption that we're being used.

Speaker 6 (22:46):
That is insulting.

Speaker 7 (22:48):
Yeah, the Democrats had accused, uh, the victims of being
used politically by Donald Trump. Well that was Aghia having
none of us, She put Elpaso Democrat Veronica Escobar on blash.
He added, when nunger I was murdered, only Republicans called
her with offers to assist. How Speaker Mike Johnson, he's

(23:10):
yanked that temporary spending plan that would have included the
Save Act requiring proof of citizenship to vote in American elections.
The deadline before a partial government shutdown is September thirtieth.
Will he manage to get this thing through. Texas has
done what it can to fight the Biden. Here is
the illegal invasion. But Governor Greg abvits buzzing program has
come at a huge cost.

Speaker 24 (23:31):
Texas has spent over two hundred and twenty million dollars
sending illegals to these Democrat cities.

Speaker 25 (23:36):
I think there's no doubt that it has been successful
in raising the specter of the issue in those areas.
I mean, it's amazing to see.

Speaker 24 (23:44):
Brendon Walton's with the Texas scorecard told Ktrrah, this has
clearly been a good investment for Texas.

Speaker 25 (23:49):
You see New York City Mayor Eric Adams complaining whatever
he gets just a couple thousand illegal aliens. Meanwhile, of course,
hundreds of thousands are pouring across the border every year
into Texas.

Speaker 24 (24:00):
Walton says, Now the question is how do we build
off the success of Operation Loan star Ethan Buchannan News
Radio seven forty KRH.

Speaker 7 (24:08):
It's now five thirty four. The Biden Harris radical energy
agenda that gave us the ramping inflation we're struggling with
was the focus of a house hearing too yesterday. The
climate crowd wanting to spend us even more into debt.

Speaker 10 (24:22):
We have got a massive deficit problem in this country
right now. So when we talk about a couple of
billion dollars for a clean energy project, add fifty percent
to that.

Speaker 7 (24:32):
Texas Congressman Michael Burgess Donald Trump calling Tuesday Nights debate
with Kamala Harris rigged thanks to the assistance she got
for the moderators. Here's how the Democrats so are trying
to spin it.

Speaker 26 (24:45):
When your team doesn't have a good game, you yell
about the refts making bad calls.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Clearly Donald Trump did not have a good game.

Speaker 7 (24:53):
Well we'll see about that. Delaware Senator Chris Coons on
Fox News. As for a rematch, if there were to
be one, Trump says, it won't be on ABC.

Speaker 6 (25:03):
I would do NBC, I do Fox Cit, I do
Fox Steal. But right now we have to determine whether

Yeah, that was Trump and Shanksville, Pennsylvania yesterday where he
was observing nine to eleven and the crash of Flight
ninety three by the Americans who are on board. He
will campaign in Tucson, Arizona today and by the way,
Kamala Harris is sending her husband the campaign in Arizona
for her. If Trump wins in November, look for him

(25:33):
to do a full government audit and drain the swamp.

Speaker 9 (25:37):
Shara.

Speaker 27 (25:37):
It's something that Tom Shatz, president of Citizens Against Government Waste,
started doing under Ronald Reagan.

Speaker 28 (25:46):
So the organization has helped to save two point four
trillion dollars since its inception in nineteen eighty four, and
it is way pastime for another study like.

Speaker 27 (25:54):
That, a study, he says that could save trillions.

Speaker 28 (25:58):
When President Trump says brillions could be saved, it's not
an exaggeration because the budget right now it's more than
seven trillion dollars. That is one of the highest points
in history without really any accountability.

Speaker 27 (26:09):

Approval of labor unions is climbing among Americans. A recent
Gallup polls says only twenty three percent of those surveyed
actually disapprove of unions now, and more of those who
approve might be Republican than you'd think.

Speaker 29 (26:32):
Fifty percent of our members are registered Republicans, and we
know a lot of our members vote based on a
lot of social issues, whether it's guns.

Speaker 6 (26:42):
Or anything else.

Speaker 29 (26:43):
And what we try and do is get the focus
on who is going to be the best choice for workers.

Sean O'Brien. He says the Democrat Party has lost support
among union members. Follow up from last week that new
University of Austin in Austin, Texas is advertising classical education

Across the country.

Speaker 30 (27:15):
We've had a lot of schools that are not supporting
free expression and free speech on college campuses where they're
trying to stifle ideas, and that's not a healthy thing.
And so I really do think colleges really need to
recommit to support the fundamental principles of free speech and
free inquiry.

When I say Campbell's, you say, turn your microphone on
so everybody get soup.

Speaker 7 (28:17):
So are you gonna is this a trick thing? Are
we going to be doing this throughout the day. No,
You're gonna say Campbell's and I'm gonna go soup.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
No, No, No, just just that one time.

Speaker 25 (28:28):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
The reason why I mentioned this is, did you hear
that Campbell's is dropping the name soup from the company name.
It's no longer going to be the campbell Soup Company.
It's going to be the Campbell's Company.

Speaker 7 (28:39):
Oh that spreading their wings and going to be bringing
us other produced foods.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
They already do. They produce a whole line of snacks
and everything else. But when I say Campbell's, do you
think of snacks.

Speaker 11 (28:50):
No, no, that's really great marketing.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Well they're getting those.

Speaker 7 (28:54):
It hasn't had a can of Campbell's from their mother,
their you know, mineteen fifties mother.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
I was gonna say, if you want to talk about
great marketing for those of us who are raised by
the greatest generation, my mother was a slave to brand names,
I mean a slave. She would never buy. If we're
buying soup, we're buying Campbell soup because it's good.

That's right, chicken noodle sick and tomato soup. You know
what my favorite flavor is real cheese when you're sick,

What happened to split pea with ham? I can still
get bean with bacon, but I can't get split pea
with ham. I have to special order it through Amazon.

Can't get how many holiday traditions where you added it
a can of soup of Campbell soup into the mix
of something that you were.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
Some sort of cast role. Yeah, yeah, No, I think
the name is iconic. I don't think. I don't. I
don't think it necessarily loses them any business I made,
After all, A can of Campbell soup is still going
to say Campbell Soup on it, but they're dropping it
from I don't know what they think they're going to
gain by dropping it from the name of the company.
I mean, they're always going to be synonymous. Heck, they've
been making and producing and selling soup since eighteen ninety seven. Yeah,

(30:13):
it's not gonna make any difference. Five forty one diaper,
traffic and weather together. The Exorcist ruined split p and
ham for all of us. If you ever see a

Ohio Springfield, Ohio with the pets missing and Haitians eating pets,
and they they have gone virtually every left leaning and
they're all left leaning pretty much. Media outlets going out
to the local Haitian community to see how they feel

Senator Ron Johnson was inhabited yesterday. GFP senators holding a
press conference to talk about Americans proving their citizenship in
order to be able to vote, but they kept getting
asked over and over again about Trump's you know, family
pets being eaten in Springfield, Ohio.

Speaker 11 (34:53):
Cats and dogs.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Here's here's Here's how Senator Senator Johnson finally had had enough.
Here's how he responded a this.

Speaker 32 (35:00):
It doesn't surprise me, but it's absurd that this is
the question.

Speaker 6 (35:04):
We've been asked in the hallways.

Speaker 32 (35:06):
We have been asked by the media about the rapes
and the murders and all the migrant crimes that are
being created by this. We're not being asked about that.
This is what the press is fixated on. The fact
of the matter is is we have an enormous problem
in this nation because of the Democrat's open border process. Again,

(35:28):
it's a clear and present danger. As I described previously,
What Center Lee is trying to accomplish with this ability
introduced in the Senate is what should be completely bipartisan,
non partisan. Every American is Senator Tumberville is talking about,
every American should have confidence in the result of the election.

Speaker 6 (35:51):
There's nothing perison about that.

Speaker 32 (35:53):
The fact that in twenty sixteen half America, half America
didn't acknowledge that as a legitimate result. Fast forward to
twenty twenty, the other half America is not accepting that
as a result.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
Now, the election deniers from twenty sixteen not a problem.

Speaker 32 (36:07):
Not all you want twenty twenty the stand of the Republic, Okay,
it's an unsustainable state of affairs. So all we're trying
to do is what I think the vast majority of
Americans want.

Speaker 6 (36:20):
I mean eighty percent support voter ID.

Speaker 32 (36:23):
Because they only want people eligible to vote to vote.
So again, it's it's absurd to be focusing on one
issue as it comes to migrant issues, as opposed to
ignoring again the rapes, the murders, the Venezuelan gangs taking
over apartment complexes, you know, all of a sudden lawless

(36:47):
sections in different parts of our states.

Speaker 6 (36:49):
This is a huge concern.

Speaker 32 (36:51):
We're only seeing the tip of the iceberg of this,
and we're gonna be living with the negative consequences of
Biden and Harris's open border for decades.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
In other words, would you dumbasses focus on what's really
important in all this stop asking about dogs and cats.

Speaker 7 (37:06):
Important is getting the media and other people in the
country to focus on it, because we've only been trying
to get them to focus on it since twenty sixteen.

Speaker 11 (37:15):
Well, twenty sixteen.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
Good luck on that buck. By fifty six now here

Speaker 9 (40:08):
They built a hurricane house in I believe it was
sixty four in Galveston, and when the hurricane came in
the house was no more. Everything was concrete. But what
ended up happening was it blew the structure right off
the top of the concrete.

Yeah. Jim Dutton of the Texas Home Improvement Show the

Trump's performance in the debate against Kamala Harris on Tuesday,
with one saying it was terrible. But course they asked

Fox News to give them anonymity. They wouldn't say who
they were. The ABC moderators still, well, they're on display
for their anti Trump bias.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
I'm disgusted.

Speaker 33 (40:58):
I'm ashamed of those moderators at ABC News. They did
exactly what their bosses wanted.

These surprises are going to happen, and I my thinking
is that there's going to be another surprise this year.
I wouldn't I couldn't tell you what it is because
no one knows where it's coming from. But there's probably
going to be.

Speaker 7 (41:54):
One American Thinker contributor Silvio Ocanto Junior expecting the unexpected.
He says, with less than two months left in the race,
we're told we shouldn't worry about illegal aliens voting because
you know it's against the law. They're not going to
do it, but they're still being registered and they're not
being cleared off the voter rolls either.

Speaker 24 (42:16):
Thousands of illegals have already been taken off the roles
in Texas, Virginia, and Alabama.

Speaker 13 (42:21):
Federal law currently prohibits states from being able to check
citizenship when they register vote.

Speaker 24 (42:27):
To say Backlund, fix it, Texas Representative Chip Roy told
Fox News, we need something like the Save Act to
ensure that our elections are secure.

Speaker 13 (42:34):
If there's no problem, if you say that there are
no non citizens voting, then what are you worry about?
You know what they're worried about. They're worried we'll actually
stop it.

Speaker 24 (42:42):
Roy says eighty five percent of American support making sure
only citizens vote in our elections, and the Democrats are
on the wrong side of this issue. Ethan Buchanan News
Radio seven forty KRH.

Speaker 7 (42:52):
Specifically states like Wisconsin that refuse to clear illegal aliens
from their voter roles. No vote on the temper Very
spending bill in the US House yesterday as had been planned.
Speaker Mike Johnson pulled it after a half dozen Republicans
said Nope, they did not going to support it. Inside
that package, it included the Save Act. That's what the
deal was. Congress has until September thirtieth to get a

(43:16):
deal done. The Save Act is prohibiting illegal aliens from
registering to vote. Government's going to run out of money,
so they're trying to get this deal done before the end.

Chinese owned TikTok they're hoping to be a major player

another avenue for the Chinese Communist Party to assert control

Speaker 6 (43:44):
They take everything they can't.

Speaker 15 (43:45):
That's why they've bought millions of acres of farmland and agland.
That's why they buy a lot of our other property.

They intend to cause harm to our nation, So people

We had some bombshell testimony went yesterday in the murder
trial of the former Houston police officer Gerald Goins. One
HPD officer admits under oath that his body cam was
turned off during that active scene because he was ordered
to by the then HPD chief ar Acevedo. Goins is
accused of falsifying information on a no knock warrant. It

(44:32):
resulted in the twenty nineteen Harding Street rate in which
two people were killed and five officers injured. According to
the Wall Street Journal, we got more doctors choosing not
to participate in the Affordable Care Act.

Speaker 4 (44:47):
Wonder why, Sharon.

The bottom line is Obamacare is getting worse a.

Evidently the National Park Service does not share the same
love for Cheetos as we do. The National Park Service
blaming a bag of Cheetos or disrupting the entire Carlsbad
cavern's ecosystem. There's a bag of Cheetos in here. National
Park Service writing online in a Facebook post that a

(46:25):
full bag of Cheetos was discarded inside the Big room
area of the cave system. Hang on a second, nobody
throws away a whole bag of Cheetos. They eat them
that fell out as somebody's backpack. That's gonna happen once
in a blue moon, don't you think. I mean, it's
not like somebody's just you know, wadding stuff up and
throwing it in Carl's Bad Cavern cave. So this looks

(46:46):
like a giant trash can to me. But this is
what the National Park System wrote, Share great or small,
we all leave an impact wherever we go, how we
choose to interact with others, and the world we share
together has this effects moment by moment and we feel
it or or are we hiring these days with the
National Park Service here at Carlsbad Caverns. We love that

(47:09):
we can host thousands of people in this cave each day.
Incidental impacts could be difficult or impossible to prevent, like
the simple fact that every step of person takes into
the cave leaves a fine trail of lint.

Speaker 7 (47:21):
Not to mention all that carbon dix side that they expel.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
Oh gee, but there are other impacts here that can
be completely avoidable, like a bag of Cheetos, who would
leave a bag of Cheetos? And Carl's bad Cavern? Who
would do that to our ecosystem and your lint R

Coming up here in just a moment. You know, Elon Musk,
if he gets an opportunity, if President Trump is elected,
he'll probably have an opportunity to come in and consult
about downsizing the government looking for better efficiencies. Wouldn't that
be nice. We'll talk more about that coming up in
just a moment with a special guest. First though, traffic
and weather together. As we check out the driver, A skyminked, all.

Speaker 5 (50:15):

Speaker 11 (51:25):
He can do it with a crew of four.

Speaker 7 (51:27):
Latest news anytime KTORH dot com. Our next update is
at the bottom of the hour.

Speaker 4 (51:34):
The lazy days of summer.

Speaker 6 (51:36):
Not around here, A lot can happen.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
Deep Bob, this is some crazy on news radio seven KTRH.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
Tom chats is with us. He's a president of Citizens
Against Government Waste. What do you think of President Trump's idea, Tom,
of creating a commission focused on making government borey fishing
and putting Elon Musk in charge of that.

Speaker 28 (51:58):
I think it's a great idea. Regardless of this charge.
It hasn't been done since the Grace Commission under President Reagan.
Jp to Grace, who was the chairman of the Wor
Grace Company, was the head of that operation, and Citizens
Against Government WACE was created to follow up on those recommendations.
And those recommendations and others have helped save two point
four trillion dollars. And when President Trump says it could

(52:20):
save trillions, he's right, because we've got a seven trillion
dollar budget. You just cut fifteen percent, you got over
a trillion. So it's a great idea.

Speaker 11 (52:27):
Kind of simple math is long two. It's a it's
a matter of doing audits.

Speaker 7 (52:32):
You know, it's not just going in and politically saying
you're gone.

Speaker 11 (52:36):
You're gone. You're fired. You're fired.

Speaker 7 (52:37):
It's a matter of getting all these different agencies and
all redundancies and everything else audited and find out actually
what's happening. Defense Apartment can't even account for the money
that it's lost.

Speaker 11 (52:51):
For instance.

Speaker 28 (52:52):
Well, interestingly, the audit for the Defense Department was something
that was recommended by the Grace Commission. Create the chief
financial officers. Wherever agency create a budget, I should say
an audit and say where the money's coming. They can't
find equipment. It's really unfortunate because we need every single
dollar spent on our national security to be spent effectively

(53:14):
because you know the other countries are doing that.

Speaker 4 (53:17):
You know, Tom, you have to think, you know, the
swamp has got to be scared beyond belief over this,
because big government is how they make their money. This
is this is how money changes hands without us even
knowing money is changing hands. This is what makes people
of Washington, DC rich. It does.

Speaker 28 (53:34):
For example, the Government Accountability Office every year issues a
report on duplicative and overlapping programs, and they've actually those
recommendations have help save money, but they don't do enough
about them. And you need a leader in the White
House who says this is what I'm going to do
in my budget, this is how I'm going to get
this done. I'm going to keep talking about it. Ronald
Reagan did that after the Grace Commission report was issued.

(53:55):
He talks about it all the time, and a lot
of those recommendations were implemented for more than people think.

Speaker 4 (54:01):
You know this all this could get solved with a
balanced budget of them, but a requirement for the federal
government to balance the budget. But I don't think that's
ever going to pass in DC.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Do you.

Speaker 4 (54:10):
Unlikely?

Speaker 28 (54:11):
Because, as you pointed out, things happen here because money
is spent. That's how everything gets solved. So you know,
you sit around the kitchen table and say, hey, let's
just go spend money and solve all our problems. Eventually
you run out.

Speaker 11 (54:24):
Passing an amendment. What could does passing an amendment do?

Speaker 7 (54:27):
I mean, they're required under the constitution to create a budget,
and they haven't done a budget in what thirty years?

Speaker 28 (54:34):
Yeah, well they haven't passed the bills on time, they
haven't done a budget and about that time as well.
And you're right, unless it's enforced, unless they change that system,
which is another way to help fix those problems. They'll
keep doing what they're doing. And so it, just as
I said, takes stronger leadership. It takes taxpayers demanding the

(54:54):
change and making sure that whatever gets recommended is done well.

Speaker 4 (54:58):
It takes taxpayers who care enough to demand the change.
Thank you, Tom, appreciate it. Tom Schatz, President of Citizens
Against Government Waste. It's six twenty six. Time to take
a look at your money. Denise Pelgrine's in this morning.

Speaker 21 (55:11):
Yeah, we've got some interesting news on the housing market.

Speaker 25 (55:14):
Jimmy.

Speaker 21 (55:14):
If you're trying to buy a home, watch for more competition.
Mortgage rates have been slipping, as you know, more buyers
could jump in, Zillo says. In August, in Houston, typical
mortgage payment was down more than three and a half
percent from the previous month.

Speaker 4 (55:27):
Still high though.

Speaker 21 (55:28):
In another bit of possible good news for buyers, Houston
Metros sellers of cut prices on almost a third of
homes in the market. There home so they're still selling
pretty fast though. In Houston they're going in just about
a little over a month under contract. Stock futures right
now they're pointing to a higher open Dow futures up
seventy points. S and P futures up eight, Nasdaq futures

(55:50):
up twelve, and some good news sort of for those
who work in banking. Sources say JP Morgan Chase is
now limiting junior bankers hours. How many hours, Jimmy, do
you think they're saying the limit hours too?

Speaker 11 (56:03):
Eighty hours a week?

Speaker 4 (56:06):
Okay, that's up. That's the limit, that's the upper limit. Yeah.

Speaker 21 (56:11):
But the source also says there will be exceptions when
employees are working to complete live deals and they might
have to work more than eighty hours a week. And
this move comes after that sobering heart attack death of
an associate worker and May and that triggered that whole
conversation about whether workloads were unhealthy eighty hours a week.

Speaker 11 (56:30):
I mean, I try not to be too judgmental.

Speaker 4 (56:32):
But that is insane, ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
It is six point thirty now here on Houston's Morning News,
I'm Jimmy Barrett, A long with Sheriff Longer. Top stories
is half our Francine tracking into Mississippi today. Victim's advocate
puts Democrats on notice and coming up at six thirty eight,
they're calling the debate a sham. Details in the minutes
ahead here in Houston's Morning News. First, let's check out
that morning drive again.

Speaker 5 (57:15):
Here's Skymine downtown Pierce Elevated I forty five. It's not
a serious wreck, but it is a chain reaction. Toe
treck Ninjas on scene. Their people are pointing at things
and we're backed up from the Gulf Freeway side from
U of H Jason from Alvins on two eighty eight North.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
Belgia north of Magnolia Parkway.

Speaker 31 (57:33):
Looks like there was a tire gator and then a
little bit further up there's.

Speaker 28 (57:37):
An eighteen wheel on good sale.

Speaker 27 (57:38):
What's wrong with him?

Speaker 28 (57:39):
Maybe possmin sand belt?

Speaker 5 (57:40):
Oh here here well said good burbage. We're in the
classic elite GMC traffic.

Speaker 4 (57:45):
Center from r KTRH Generator is Supercenter twenty four. Our
weather center for today Claudi. This morning partly cloudy by
this afternoon with a high today right about ninety tomorrow
through Sunday. Look like great weather for anything you might
want to do outdoors. We'll check all this when we
talk to Terry Smith at the Weather Channel in about
nine minutes. Right now, still seventy two at your officials
Severe Weather Station, News Radio seven forty KTRH. It's time

(58:09):
now for the lame one time. Here's here's here's Sheriff Ryer.

Speaker 7 (58:15):
You know what I was reaching from my microphone button.
Instead I hit the audio button. Six point thirty now
on news radio seven forty KTRH. And our top story
this morning, hundreds of thousands of people in Louisiana in
the dark after Francine made landfall as a cat too
hurricane in Trebon Parish overnight. As of now, we have
no reports of deaths or injuries there. The system barely

(58:37):
a tropical storm right now moving into Mississippi. Also topping
our news, a request by the defense and the Joscelyn
Nungarai murder case for a broad gag order here has
been rejected. They wanted the media ban for the most part.
Two illegal aliens from Venezuela, Yes refugees, charged with capital
murder and the rape and the murder of that twelve

(58:59):
year old back in June. Nunger Eye's mother one of
several at the House Judiciary Committee this week testifying after
they became victims of illegal alien crime. Houston crime advocate
April Agiri fired away at the Democrats on the committee,
who basically said, no, it's the Republicans who are at fault.

Speaker 3 (59:21):
Not one time when her daughter was murdered and I
was helping her navigate the criminal justice and that one
Democrat called me to offer their assistance.

Speaker 7 (59:30):
It was only Republicans, Yeah, Hugary, calling out the Olpaso
Democrat Veronica Escobar specifically. House Speaker Mike Johnson has postponed
the vote though on a temporary spending plan that would
have included the Save Act preventing illegal aliens from voting
in American elections requiring proof of citizenship. Without that included, well,

(59:52):
the partial government shut down will be at the end
of this month. So far, Texas has spent two hundred
and twenty one million dollars bussing illegal aliens to sanctuary
cities elsewhere and has brought the border crisis into the
national headlines.

Speaker 25 (01:00:08):
This is expensive, no doubt, but it's expensive to keep
them here. So you combine that with the increased attention
that this is placed on it, I think that there's
an argument to be made that this is good money spent.

Speaker 11 (01:00:20):
Brandon Walton's with the Texas scorecard.

Speaker 7 (01:00:22):
He says, the question is whether Texas is going to
have to keep fighting the federal government to stop this invasion.
What government we have in the next four years six
thirty four is our time. Texas Congressman Michael Burgess calling
out the Biden Harris regime for not refilling the strategic
oil reserve after draining it to manipulate gasoline prices and

(01:00:45):
win the twenty twenty two midterms.

Speaker 10 (01:00:49):
We sit here today with a big tropical storm Francine
churning in the Gulf, and all of the golf production
is having to be shut in, albeit for a few days.
But that's the reason you have a strategic Paternian reserve,
because if something like that happens, then America doesn't suffer.

Speaker 7 (01:01:06):
Burg Is at a house hearing yesterday. You're still paying
more than two to eighty a gallon for gasoline here,
and don't forget it was under two bucks when Donald
Trump was president meantime, Well, they sure did show us
what they're made of. The ABC News correspondence are criticized
big time the whole network for that Tuesday debate, with

(01:01:27):
the moderators totally biased against Donald Trump.

Speaker 33 (01:01:31):
What a disservice that ABC News did to the country.
They had an opportunity here to really get to know
Kamala Harris really here about all of her radical ideas.

Speaker 7 (01:01:42):
RNC coachair Lea Trump on Fox Now. The former president
delivers a speech in Arizona today and will be rallying
in Las Vegas, Nevada tomorrow. Trump says that he will,
as president, launch a government efficiency Commission led by Elon
Musk if he is realized did Tom Shatz has been
doing this sort of thing for decades overlooking as head

(01:02:04):
of Citizens Against Government Waste.

Speaker 28 (01:02:08):
The last comprehensive examination and report of the entire federal
government was the Grace Commission under President Ronald Reagan, and
Citizens Against Government Waste was founded after the Great Commission
report was released.

Speaker 7 (01:02:21):
That was in nineteen eighty four. Shats says, there's been
hasn't been a full government audit done since then, and
our national debt they don't even account for the spending
is now over thirty five trillion dollars. It's now six
thirty six. If you have a criminal case pending in
Harris County JP Court Precinct one, you probably will not

(01:02:43):
be getting arrested. Justice of the Peace Stephen Dubal has
recalled all outstanding warrants in his court, affecting thousands of
cases involving traffic citations, evictions, and other misdemeanors.

Speaker 11 (01:02:56):
He's just going to cancel him, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:02:58):
Suspended State Senator Paul Bettencourt calls this move nuts. Okay,
we told you last week. There's some hope for the future,
at least of students. The University of Austin opened in Austin, Texas,
with an emphasis on classic education. Jeff McCall of De
Paul University says more of these universities that actually teach

(01:03:22):
critical thinking may pop up as other enrollment slumps.

Speaker 30 (01:03:27):
Not answer every question that comes up, but try to
question all the answers and let people try to help
come to their own conclusions. That's how you create rational thinkers.

Speaker 11 (01:03:37):
He says.

Speaker 7 (01:03:37):
Public confidence in universities and colleges in this country continues
to decline. It's now six thirty seven.

here Birkster looks.

Speaker 4 (01:03:52):

Speaker 11 (01:03:56):
Yeah, they opened the ads.

Speaker 7 (01:03:58):
They did their walks two different as SpaceX celebrating the
first ever commercial space walk carried out by the crew
of Polaris Dawn today, two in the aircraft and two
making the walk testing out the suits.

Speaker 11 (01:04:13):
That was exciting to watch.

Speaker 4 (01:04:16):
That hit my fear of heights in a big way.
That's a long way down.

Speaker 11 (01:04:19):
And Elon Musk was streaming it on X. There you go.

Speaker 7 (01:04:24):

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
Breaking news is justin Your guests is as good as ours.

Speaker 4 (01:04:54):
What happens next Man on Youth Radio seventy ktrh. Greg
Gutfel would believe it, would would agree with that. By
the way, that any way you look at it, we lose,
he says, the losers of the American people from what
happened with that debate. He called the debate a sham.
What did he mean by that?

Speaker 18 (01:05:09):
Well, I don't know who won, but I know who lost.

Speaker 4 (01:05:11):
It was the American people.

Speaker 35 (01:05:13):
You know, you could say, if you complain about the refs,
you're losing.

Speaker 6 (01:05:16):
Well, if the refs are.

Speaker 35 (01:05:17):
Corrupt, you gotta complain, because everybody lost. I actually got
dumber watching it. I felt like my brain was being
waterboarded by the sheer nonsense of these idiot moderate moderators.
But we're so sidetracked by the mechanics of the debate,
the muted mice, that we forgot about them. I honestly

(01:05:38):
don't know how anyone can decide who won the debate.
That's like trying to guess the price of a painting
that you suspect as a forgery. You can't objectively decide
a winner in a sham competition. This is truly the
first DEI debate where one candidate was subjected to a
high standard and the other was held in no standards

(01:06:00):
at all. They remove the essence of fairness to achieve
an outcome that could not be scored. You cannot score that.
That is why you can't say who won or who lost.
Literal should be ashamed that your candidate needed the odds
to be stocked so heavily in their favor. You know,

(01:06:21):
for many Americans, Harris entered as a mystery and exited
as a mystery, and that was the goal to keep
her under wraps. So anyone who attributes that to calmless
skill is an idiot.

Speaker 7 (01:06:34):
It's pretty much, well he sells is fired up zif Yeah,
pretty much pretty much six forty diaper, traffic and weather together.

Speaker 4 (01:06:43):
As we're checking out that drive again with sky Mike.

Speaker 5 (01:06:45):
All right, Jimmy share, put your hard hats on. Here's
one for you, Terry. This is two twenty five outbound
on the east side and it's erect right past Scarborough Lane. Actually,
i've got reports of two and wonder Kyle from Transstar
is that trying to get us a camera shot on
this on the outbound that solid breaks from loop six ten.
This is outbound, not inbound, and if you'll give me

(01:07:07):
the six to fifty break, I'll have some laneage for you.

Speaker 6 (01:07:10):
Downtown.

Speaker 5 (01:07:10):
It looks like everybody's okay northbound the piers at Dallas Street,
but they had to block all lanes so the ninjas
could safely perform their duties. Golf freeway squished up all
the way from U of H six ' ten north.
That's a records minor to truck westbound at the squeeze
at forty five Hardy Toll Road. Doug from Conrod with
classified information going Mike, dude.

Speaker 9 (01:07:29):
When you me and the fence post light out in
the nineteen sixty exit, they have one lane locked off.
Traffic stacking up a little bit, all right.

Speaker 5 (01:07:36):
Let me put that in your incre Sorry, Doug. Let
me put that on your incore navigation. As a hubbub
and Terry, I have tons of friends in Louisiana. I'm
just hoping everybody's okay over there. I don't know what
you think, but we're looking at the classic elite GMC Traffic.

Speaker 4 (01:07:52):

of folks with electricity this morning, Louisiana.

Speaker 9 (01:08:00):
A lot of.

Speaker 19 (01:08:01):
Folks in Louisiana and likely to be in Mississippia as well.
Not so much because it's a hurricane, but it's gusty
winds on top of saturated soil, and that leads to
these trees coming down fairly easily. And yeah, it looks
like the bigger problem today will be more so into
Mississippi and Alabama, parts of Tennessee and even Arkansas. Not

(01:08:25):
only heavy rain, but there's the threat of severe thunderstorms,
including tornadoes, those little quick spin ups that we see
frequently with these tropical systems. Our weather, by the other hand,
just as quiet as it can be and getting warmer,
will turn out sunny today upper eightiest to load nineties,
and it gets even warmer tomorrow load of mid nineties,

(01:08:45):
staying dry and sunny through the weekend into early next week.

Yep? She put out the plae basic question. YEP. I'll
share the plea that she put out and some reaction
to it coming up next. First, though, traffic and weather

We've got laneage to twenty five KGr H listeners as usual,

it was closer to Shaber, but it's two left lanes here.

Speaker 6 (01:09:41):
This is outbound.

Speaker 5 (01:09:42):
That's a big smash from the east loop six '

it was a community Karen in Florida who called the

(01:10:40):
cops on a six year old running a lemonade stand.
Instead of shutting it down, police bought lemonade and.

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):
I live in Pasadena, Sharptown Southwest on the ten time
saving traffic on seven ktright.

Speaker 4 (01:11:05):
So we learned any more about the assassination attempt. I'm
president Trump not a lot. The FBI isn't talking. They're stoneballing.

Speaker 11 (01:11:14):
Well they can No, they're not Secret Services under investigation.

Speaker 4 (01:11:17):
Yeah, it's under investigation. With with it with the FBI.
So the Secret Service, we can't say anything about all this.

Speaker 11 (01:11:23):
They've got their sacrificial lambs of the Secret Service. A
couple have been let off, let go right.

Speaker 4 (01:11:28):
I think got the FBI same kind of thing there,
they got a couple of lower downs of times.

Speaker 11 (01:11:32):
No, we're never going to know.

Speaker 7 (01:11:33):
I mean, we were still talking about the Kennedy assassination
sixty years later.

Speaker 4 (01:11:37):
Sure enough. Well, Lannie Trump wants to I don't know
if her speaking out is going to help, but it
certainly doesn't hurt.

Speaker 36 (01:11:43):
The attempt to end my husband's life was a horrible,
distressing experience. Now the silence around it feels heavy. I
can't help but wonder why didn't law enforcement officials arrest
sooner before the speech? There is definitely more to this

(01:12:04):
story and we need to uncover the truth.

Speaker 6 (01:12:08):
No, I think she's right.

Speaker 37 (01:12:10):
I think you know, she has her own way of communicating,
putting on out there. But they have been so tight
lipped of the Secret Service, and they have a culture
of deception that has to be in context here. So
why was this person allowed to get on the roof.
He wasn't stealthy, he didn't do something really creative. I

(01:12:31):
mean he got up on a roof, a white roof,
and then the deception that's been out there from the
Secret Service director say, oh, the pitch was too big.
I think she has a lot of questions. I think
America a lot of questions. Yes, Willy Chatl who resigned.

Speaker 38 (01:12:46):
Yeah, discusses her experience and as Donald Trump, as the
former president.

Speaker 4 (01:12:50):
Fleshed out, you know what that was like.

Speaker 38 (01:12:52):
There's a cause of action for vicarious trauma, right. It
exists when people watch their loved ones when terrible things
happen to them.

Speaker 6 (01:12:58):
The whole point is.

Speaker 38 (01:12:59):
That the law sort of provides and accounts for that
horrible trauma that occurs when you witness something terrible happening
to a loved one. And the trauma that she suffered
is real. I mean I can't imagine that. So it's
just taking a moment to acknowledge that her pain is
so real at seeing that, and the fact that her
pain is now made worse by a failure to have

(01:13:20):
any answers.

Speaker 4 (01:13:21):
Well, other than Fox, I'm guessing social media is the
only other place you're going to see the first former

a little much.

Speaker 9 (01:17:28):
They already are building homes stronger than ever before with
hurricane straps and things like that. And the three D

Seven oh three is our time. Fox reports at several
House Republicans are their concern about Donald Trump in the
debate against Kamala Harris on Tuesday, with one of them
saying it was terrible his performance. Of course, they won't
say who they are. The moderators on ABC through Harris
plenty of softballs during the debate and they never fact

(01:18:18):
checked her and it might not have won Harris any votes.
She still doesn't seem to have one over anybody undecided.

Speaker 11 (01:18:26):
Hmmm.

Speaker 29 (01:18:29):
Kamala's administration things haven't been so fantastic, and she's saying
she can fix the problems that her administration has caused.

Speaker 11 (01:18:36):
But I just don't know if I can afford to
take that risk.

Speaker 7 (01:18:39):
Yeah, that was an undecided voter on CNN, part of
a CNN focus group. Oh were they stunned on the
campaign trail after attending nine to eleven memorials with Donald Trump.
President Joe Biden actually put on a Trump hat at
an event, the one in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, marking the Flight
ninety three crash there. The White House spin is that,

(01:19:00):
oh no, he knew what he was doing as bipartisan unity.

thousands of non citizens from our voter roles, there's your
proof Democrats say, no, we don't need any more laws
to stop illegal aliens from voting.

Speaker 13 (01:20:03):
Really, eighty five percent of the American vile support for
requiring the only citizens to vote in American elections. Democrats
are on the wrong side of the issue.

Speaker 7 (01:20:14):
Yeah, Texas Congressman Chip Roy there on Fox. States like
Wisconsin with only six million voters have as many as
a million or more people who should be purged. They're
ineligible to vote, but they're resisting it. House Speaker Mike Johnson,
he pulled the temporary spending Bill because it included that
Save Act. They were going to vote on it in

(01:20:35):
the full House yesterday, but there's half a dozen Republicans
who say they're not going to vote for it. Congress
has until September thirtieth to get a spending deal done
or begin that partial government shutdown. Will Johnson hold firm
and make sure the illegal voting Save Act is included.
It appears too late to stop TikTok. However, before this election.

Speaker 14 (01:21:00):
Chinese owned social media app TikTok is launching new election
features and candidate verification requirements ahead of this falls contests.
Political commentator Luke Macias says this is dangerous, especially since
TikTok has huge influence on younger voters.

Speaker 15 (01:21:13):
There's a reality that China does not allow free speech
social media platforms in its country, and we should not
be allowing it to significantly persuade not only our citizens,
but also being used to advance their own propaganda.

Speaker 14 (01:21:27):
President Biden signed a law earlier this year that requires
TikTok to divest its Chinese ownership or face a band
in the US. Corey Jolson News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 7 (01:21:36):
Well, Kamala Harris slam Trump's tax cuts and his plans
moving forward to cut taxes even more. She lied as
well about national taxes during her debate. Study from the
Tax Foundation those shows that Kamala Harris Her taxing agenda
would result in seven hundred and eighty six thousand jobs

(01:21:57):

So you've got your Harris County Democrats working their own
eight percent property tax increase into next year's budget for

stories like this. I'm trying to decide which I'm more
offended by. This week, Kamala Harris blaming President Trump during
the debate for our horrible botched withdrawal from Afghanistan or
now White House slash Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby trashing veterans

(01:23:32):
on nine to eleven through an email that he accidentally
set the Fox News oops, didn't mean to do that.
He trashed a group of veterans in the email, the ones.
It's just the veterans who are serving in Congress who
think that we screwed up our Afghanistan withdrawal. For those
everybody out there who thinks that we screwed up our

(01:23:54):
Afghanistan withdrawal, that President Biden screwed it up, raise your
hand please, Okay. I think that's the majority of Americans, certainly,
the vast majority of our listening audience, not just a few,
you know, radically right congressmen. But that's who John Kirby
is trashing. He should be trashing. Any veteran, he's part
of it, that's right. Let alone. I mean, come on,

(01:24:19):
you can't pull the wool over everybody's.

Speaker 7 (01:24:20):
Eyes on this full optics of being able to say,
I got us out of Afghanistan. He sacrificed American lives
and blood.

Speaker 4 (01:24:28):
There you go, Kirby said, obviously, no use in responding
a handful of that's indeed, in all of one stripe,
are saying this about our Afghanistan withdrawal, not not the
majority of veterans. Just just a handful of these radical
right veterans are saying this.

Speaker 7 (01:24:44):
Even as they're messing with the veterans voting, not the veterans,
the active duty military people all around the world, they're
messing with their back.

keep learning. We will learn lessons from this. Use Radio
seven forty KATRH two hundred and twenty one million dollars.
About ninety nine percent of that taxpayer money, one percent
of it came from private donors. But that's how much
money we spent to ship illegals to sanctuary cities. Now,

(01:29:41):
even some Republicans think, well, maybe how we should have
spent the money was buzzing them back across the border
instead of keeping him here in the United States. But
I think if you pulled most Texans, they would probably
think this money fairly well spent. Brandon Waltons joins US
with Texas scorecard. I don't know if you've had a
chance to talk to fellow Texans about how they feel
about the the cost of the of the bussing project,

(01:30:02):
have you?

Speaker 6 (01:30:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 25 (01:30:05):
So, I think I think you've pinpointed it right. I mean,
it's it's kind of a double edged sword. On one hand,
I think Texans are thankful that this has, you know,
this idea that we bust illegal aliens now for the
last gosh, I guess it's been a couple of years
now into cities like New York, like Chicago, like Los Angeles,
these Democrat run cities that many of them don't normally

(01:30:27):
have to see the effects of the border invasion that
Texas does, right. Texas, of course, being the largest border state,
there's the brunt of you know, hundreds of thousands of
illegal aliens pouring across every year, and so a lot
of texts say, you know, they're glad the attention this
is placed on the issue. I mean, certainly, when you
see people like you know, New York City mayor Eric

(01:30:48):
Adams complaining when he gets you know, a couple thousand
illegal aliens in New York City, you know, a city
of eight million people or whatever, you know, when you
see that, certainly that has done a lot to place
attention on the issue. And certainly that's been a good
effect of it. But now the question is, Okay, what

(01:31:09):
is what next? Right, this is obviously a big expenditure
to Texas. Texas is as you pointed out, Texas taxpayers
paying you know, ninety nine percent of this, right, So
it's it falls almost squarely on the shoulder of Texas taxpayers.
And the question is, you know, should the state be
doing more now, especially with the upcoming legislative session, to.

Speaker 28 (01:31:31):
Not just you know, bus or legals out.

Speaker 25 (01:31:34):
Of Texas, but actually do more to repel and send
people back across.

Speaker 11 (01:31:41):
Yeah, repelling them.

Speaker 7 (01:31:43):
We can't really ship them across because that's a federal function.
I mean, we'd be in violation. Would we not if
the state and our government tried to do the federal
duty but repelling them.

Speaker 11 (01:31:54):
We've already proven in court that we can do that.

Speaker 25 (01:31:59):
Absolutely, And I think that you know, there's always, of course,
you know, these open legal questions. We've seen that no
matter what Texas does with the border, it's going to
go to court. Right You're going to have groups like
you know, the ACLU, left wing groups, et cetera, suing.
So all of this is going to go to court
no matter what the state does. But Texas will make
sure that we're using our money in a way that

(01:32:20):
is the most effective that we're able to do. Like
I said, I think, you know, when I look at this,
I say, I'm glad that this has placed at tension
on the issue. But I think that you know, certain
folks you've seen both French for example, who's the chair
of the Tarrent County Republican Party, which is the largest

(01:32:41):
Republican county right now in I think their country area.
It's one of the only Republican cities left is Fort Worth.
And so I think he made the points that he
wants to see you know, more done to actually repel
rather than just send people to other states.

Speaker 4 (01:33:00):
Yeah, all right, Brandon, thank you, appreciate your insight. That's

Some good news if you're a fan of that McDonald's

the budget meals triggered a nearly three percent increase in

And they're also unveiling a two dollars fried chicken sandwich
now at McDonald's, but you have to have the app
to get that one. McDonald's is trying to wrote more
people into its loyalty program, and carrying credit card balances
is never a good idea, right, but your personal finances

(01:33:56):
can really take a hit if you don't pay off
a store credit card each month. Bank Rate says the
average interest right now on a retail credit card has
hit a record high of more than thirty percent, and

five thousand plus though without power this morning in Louisiana.
Howdagees in after the landfall. It was a cat too
hurricane Fran scene in Tara Bonne Parish overnight. No initial

(01:36:23):
reports of deaths or injury related to the system. It's now,
as I say, a tropical storm and moving inland into Mississippi.
Also topping our news, the two illegal aliens from Venezuela
charged with raping and murdering twelve year old Houston girl,
Jocelyn Nongarai. We're back in court on Wednesday, and Judge
Josh Hill rejected Hayes ruled by the way that cameras

(01:36:49):
will be allowed in the courtroom. He has rejected attempts
of a gag order.

Speaker 23 (01:36:55):
I do not think I have any authorities this time.
Of course, risks some scratch from Communis poles rooms page
and I do not have an ability to restrict them
from seppordance.

Speaker 11 (01:37:10):
Wasn't it sure?

Speaker 7 (01:37:11):
The two illegal alien defendants are charged with capital murder
nan Garay's mother went of several victims of illegal alien
crime testifying for the US House this week. Houston crime
victim advocate April Ageari boys, she let loose on the
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee who tried to deflect all
the blame to Republicans.

Speaker 4 (01:37:33):
We want solutions.

Speaker 11 (01:37:35):
That's still talking.

Speaker 4 (01:37:36):
So please don't I just talked to an assumption. Don't
make an assumption that we're being used.

Speaker 6 (01:37:42):
That is insulting.

Speaker 7 (01:37:45):
Yeah, she had said this Democrat that Republicans were using
the victims for political reasons. She put Elpaso Democrat Veronica
Escobar on blast over that, adding that when nunger A
was murder only Republicans is called with offers to assist.
Texas has done what it can, defied the Biden. Here
is the illegal invasion. But Governor Greg abvits bussing program

(01:38:08):
has a big price tag.

Speaker 24 (01:38:11):
Texas has spent over two hundred and twenty million dollars
sending illegals to these Democrat cities.

Speaker 25 (01:38:17):
I think there's no doubt that it has been successful
in raising the specter of the issue in those areas.
I mean, it's amazing to see.

Speaker 24 (01:38:24):
Brandon Walton's with the Texas Scorecard, told KTRH, this has
clearly been a good investment for Texas.

Speaker 25 (01:38:30):
You see New York City Mayor Eric Adams complaining whatever
he gets, just a couple thousand illegal aliens. Meanwhile, of course,
hundreds of thousands are pouring across the border every year
into Texas.

Speaker 24 (01:38:40):
Walton says, now the question is how do we build
off the success of Operation Loan Star Ethan Buchanan, News
Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 11 (01:38:48):
It's now seven thirty five.

Speaker 7 (01:38:49):
The Biden Harris radical energy Agenda gave us ramping inflation
still going up was the focus of a House hearing yesterday.
The climate crowd, Well, they want to spend us into
even more debt.

Speaker 10 (01:39:01):
We have got a massive deficit problem in this country
right now. So when we talk about a couple of
billion dollars for clean energy project, add fifty percent to that.

Speaker 7 (01:39:12):
Yeah, that's Texas Congressman Michael Burgess. So what about all
this rampant spending. If Trump wins in November, look for
him to do a full government audit and drain the swamp.

Speaker 27 (01:39:25):
Sarah, It's something that Tom Shatz, president of Citizens Against
Government Waste, started doing under Ronald Reagan.

Speaker 28 (01:39:34):
So the organization has helped to save two point four
trillion dollars since its inception in nineteen eighty four, and
it is way pastime for another study like.

Speaker 27 (01:39:43):
That, a study he says that could save trillions.

Speaker 28 (01:39:47):
When President Trump says trillions could be saved, it's not
an exaggeration because the budget right now it is more
than seven trillion dollars debt is one of the highest
points in history. Without really any accountability.

Speaker 27 (01:39:57):
Trump has tabbed Elon Musk to lead his Government Efficiency Commission.

Did you know that approval of labor unions it was
almost down to zero there for a while, climbing again.
A recent gallipol shows that only twenty three percent of
people surveyed actually disapprove of unions now, and more of
those who approve may be.

Speaker 11 (01:40:23):
Republican, more Republican than you might think.

Speaker 29 (01:40:27):
Fifty percent of our members are registered Republicans.

Speaker 6 (01:40:30):
And we know a lot of our members.

Speaker 29 (01:40:32):
Vote based on a lot of social issues, whether it's
guns or anything else.

Speaker 6 (01:40:37):
And what we try and do is.

Speaker 29 (01:40:39):
Get the focus on who is going to be the
best choice for workers.

Speaker 7 (01:40:44):
He calls guns a social issue. Teamster's Union president Sean
O'Brien will he's all Democrat, he says, though the party
has lost support among union members. A follow up from
last week that new University of Austin in Austin, Texas
advertising classical education for its first group of students, education

(01:41:07):
without leftist politics, actually being educated in how to think
critical thinking. Jeff mccolloge to Paul University, says, we may
see more of these nationwide.

Speaker 6 (01:41:17):
Across the country.

Speaker 30 (01:41:19):
We've had a lot of schools that are not supporting
free expression and free speech on college campuses where they're
trying to stifle ideas, and that's not a healthy thing.
And so I really do think colleges really need to
recommit to support the fundamental principles of free speech and
free inquiry.

Speaker 11 (01:41:35):
He says.

Speaker 7 (01:41:35):
Classical education, Western classical education created critical thinkers and we
lack those today. It's seven thirty seven. The Stros lost
to the A's five to four. A still lead the
Al West now by three and a half games.

Save up to twenty percent off Select Twhiskies during Specs
whiskey sale. We've had so many stories lately about food recalls.
Here we go with a couple more popcorn being recalled
and the FDA is trying to set the risk level.

(01:42:21):
Popcorn produced by an organ based firm recalled earlier this
summer's now being issued a risk classification by the US
Food and Drug Administration. Castor Foods, based out of Eugene,
issued a recall for butter in yeast popcorn. Hang on,
butter in yeast? Why would you want yeast in your popcorn?

(01:42:43):
Butter and yeast popcorn manufactured by you ready for this name?
Yummy Monkey Organics. There you go, organic popcorn. So what
could go wrong with organic popcorn? The labels did not
declare the presence of milk only butter and is spelled
g h e E. What is that? Shaah?

Speaker 7 (01:43:06):
That is you use it for cooking and it doesn't
have the bubbles and the salt and stuff it is
I forget what the word is the vault erb I'm
looking for. You take butter and you you get the
bubbles out of it and it's clarified clarify Is it
clarified butter? Okay, clarified clarified oil. I think it's a
butter though.

Speaker 4 (01:43:26):
Okay, I'll have to look it up. Recall was initiated
in August the eighth, So because they didn't put on
the label that it contains milk is why they're recalling it.
So if you're not allergic to milk, there's no problem.
But you would think that the manufacturer, you know, we
got to put the list of ingredients on here, milk
would be one of the things you would think they
But with.

Speaker 7 (01:43:47):
Just buying the corn kernels and making your own popcorn, you.

Speaker 4 (01:43:51):
Know what should make low You know what should make
a comeback, Jiffy pop. You remember Jiffy pop as a kid.

Speaker 11 (01:43:56):
But my mother was very tight. She was Scottish.

Speaker 4 (01:44:00):
I mean, well, hang out a second. Is that some
sort of an ethnic slur against the Scotts.

Speaker 11 (01:44:05):
I'm Scottish?

Speaker 4 (01:44:06):
Are you saying Scott's that means I am too?

Speaker 7 (01:44:09):
But I mean she made popcorn and she'd sneak it
into the movie theater with us a little bit.

Speaker 4 (01:44:14):
Are you serious? She was one of those.

Speaker 11 (01:44:16):
Because it was too expensive and we popped our own popcorn.
I can pop popcorn. Oh sure, I learned how to
do it when I was five years old.

Speaker 4 (01:44:23):
Or you know what they still do. They still make
popcorn poppers. Yeah, yeah, I mean you could do that.

Speaker 11 (01:44:30):
You even do it in a skillet on the stove.
It's really easy to do. That's what we did on
an electric stove is a lot better on a guest.

Speaker 4 (01:44:38):
Tell you what if you start making your own popcorn,
youn't have to worry about what's in it? Right, seven

We just cleared that trouble outbound to eighty eight at
the south West Freeway.

Speaker 6 (01:45:01):

Now, that's still quite a lot of smushery on the
East Texa. It's kind of a two headed monster because
it messes you up from Collingsworth on sixty nine East
text Freeway southbound. Also, I've got reports of some kind
of minor accident equipment. I don't think you were going

Use Radio seven KTRH.

Speaker 4 (01:48:43):
I promised I was going to get this in, so
I want to get this in before the end of
the show here today. We played for you a little
bit earlier in the program. Malania Trump, the former First
Lady and President Trump's wife. I'm concerned, very concerned obviously
that she doesn't think that a very u that the FBI,
Department of Justice Secret Service not very forthcoming as far
as what they have found out about the assassination of

(01:49:04):
attempt on her husband. And she is rightfully concerned about that.
So is Representative Michael Waltz. He's on the Assassination Investigation Committee.
It's really mixed so far.

Speaker 6 (01:49:13):
I think the task force is.

Speaker 26 (01:49:15):
Really taking a bottoms up approach. They're conducting dozens of
interviews with local law enforcement first five different agencies multiple
site visits again, a dozens of transcribed interviews. The Secret Service,
on the one hand, has given us about twenty four
hundred documents, but that takes time to sift through all

(01:49:37):
of that. But on the other hand, here's the disturbing part.
They have apparently a standard protocol to do an internal
review of forty five days and then sixty days. They're
not really talking to local law enforcement or any of
these agencies, or the other federal agencies or.

Speaker 4 (01:49:52):
Even the state police.

Speaker 26 (01:49:53):
Why because they're waiting and deferring to the FBI to
finish their investigation.

Speaker 6 (01:50:00):
And the FBI has given us.

Speaker 4 (01:50:02):
The good old you know, hey, yeah, there's still.

Speaker 6 (01:50:05):
Ask us too many questions.

Speaker 4 (01:50:06):
Will give you a few updates, but it's.

Speaker 26 (01:50:09):
Under investigation, right. And the thing that is so frustrating,
this isn't an isolated incident just to look into once
and take a while. There's ongoing threats. There's a Ronnie
in assassination attempts. We just had the incident out in Arizona,
and ongoing campaign with the president very much out there
in the public. We need lessons learn now. We need

(01:50:31):
those reviews done now. And what's going to change besides
a couple of glass walls, you know, or fiberglass walls
in front of him when he's outdoors.

Speaker 14 (01:50:39):
What have you learned about the shooter's behavior leading up
to Butler that day?

Speaker 26 (01:50:46):
Well, clearly he was training, he was preparing. What we
can't get a straight answer from the FBI on is
you know, he built three IEDs with remote detonators. But
what we can't get a straight answer is what really
radicalized him.

Speaker 4 (01:51:02):
What drove the motives.

Speaker 26 (01:51:04):
They keep telling us, well, we're making progress and getting
into these multiple ENCRYPTID overseas accounts, but we're not getting
any documents or what they're finding.

Speaker 4 (01:51:14):
Let me ask you this, Jesse.

Speaker 6 (01:51:15):
If this were like a tatted.

Speaker 26 (01:51:17):
Up white guy wearing a Maga hat that took a
shot at Kamala, you think the FBI would be taking
months and months to get the behavioral analysis out there
and paint a picture of him. Heck no, So I
think the first Lady's absolutely right to say what the
heck is going on here?

Speaker 4 (01:51:34):
If we find out anything at all, it'll be after
the election. That much I can assure you of. It'll
be after the election. But we'll never get the whole truth.
Under no circumstances.

Speaker 7 (01:51:44):
Well you might if you elect Trump and you get
Bobby Kennedy working, I mean Robert Kennedy.

Speaker 4 (01:51:48):
That's your best shot. That's your best shot at getting it,
that's for sure. Hey, listen, you'll have a great day.
We'll see tomorrow morning, bright, early five am. I'll see
you this after the four run AM nine to fifty KPRC.
